wine users - Aug 2010 - Wine 1.2 on Mac Leopard, Civ4 startup error "Failed Initiating Python"

Hi all,

I'm hoping that someone has seen this one before. I am trying to get
Civ4 working in Wine 1.2 on my Mac and I get so far as the stage where
it initializes Python and it fails. I've attached the log at the end
of this transmission. It's relatively short as these things go. I can
see at least one error: 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback but
I have no clue as to how to resolve that in this situation.

Any input would be most welcome.
-MC

Where did you get your version of Wine?

What happens when you open the terminal program from the Applications -> 
Utilities folder?

(You should get a welcome screen and a Python promt >>>>.  If you
do,
type quit() to exit.)

Where did you get your version of Wine?  If it was from MacPorts or Fink, they
have python installation packages you will have to get from them.  If not,
I'm at a loss where you can get it.

Also, please keep the conversation on the Wine Users list.  I am but one
volunteer and there are hundreds that read the list and can assist when I
cannot.
